Abstract
We present the Mu-SHROOM shared task which is focused on detecting hallucinations and other overgeneration mistakes in the output of instruction-tuned large language models (LLMs).Mu-SHROOM addresses general-purpose LLMs in 14 languages, and frames the hallucination detection problem as a span-labeling task. We received 2,618 submissions from 43 participating teams employing diverse methodologies. The very high number of submissions highlights the interest of the community in hallucination detection. We present the results of the participating systems and provide an empirical analysis in order to better understand the factors that can lead to strong performance in this task. We also underscore current challenges, notably the varying degree of hallucinations across languages and the high annotator disagreement when labeling hallucination spans.- Anthology ID:
